Cheers gents, work on this bike has been pretty geologically slow since the summer started but thankfully I'm in no hurry to get it done. Which is a good thing - hit the year-in mark and still looking at a pile of parts

Got the rest of the side covers etc painted, and a few details more details polished up as well. And, as I have zero restraint, couldn't help buttoning it all up (minus internals) with some new shiny hardware -

Few more details to finish up but it's almost done. Now that I've replaced all the old hardware with new stainless bolts, I'm on the lookout for a set of new stainless upper and lower crankcase bolts as well. Anyone know where I can get some? They absolutely don't need to be OEM.

Have some new cam chains in the mail. Also arriving soon are a set of yellow crank bearings, oil seals and primary shaft dampeners. Then the fun begins.
